Jack Bauer and Fox's 24 ...CANCELLED!!!

The Comic Book Listings Blog: Presents;

Breaking News:

Jack Bauer and Fox's 24 

...CANCELLED!!!

After eight seasons, Fox’s “24” is Coming to an End!

The Hollywood Reporter writes;

The groundbreaking action drama will air its final real-time episode in May, the victim of a confluence of circumstances: a swelling budget, declining ratings and creative fatigue.

Yet for fans of Jack Bauer, there remains hope. Studio 20th TV is developing a theatrical film that takes Bauer to Europe, and showrunner and executive producer Howard Gordon says other possibilities are being explored as well. ~ Read more at thrfeed.com

The News is Devastating! Well, at least for us '24' fans.
And while promises are made of a '24' movie, our souls are not comforted.

"What am I going to do on Monday nights???"
I mean, even my wife loved '24'. And would actually "Be Quite" while it was on. Now, even Monday nights are going to be hell.

Reactions posted at THR mimic the same. Jack Bauer is/was Our Hero. And we don't want to see him go. And what's all this "a swelling budget, declining ratings and creative fatigue" crap anyway. Sounds to me like "Bureaucrats" and "Government Involvement"! Makes me So Mad!

But, there you have it. '24', is No More.

Fall Of The Hulks Red Hulk Fine Art Statue

Fall Of The Hulks Red Hulk Fine Art Statue

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! The Hulk has been a staple superhero of the Marvel Comics for years, battling foes across the universe in epic storylines. In 2008 the gamma-powered powerhouse met his match in a mysterious crimson-hued mirror image: the RED HULK. Massively powerful and frighteningly intelligent, the villain has all of the Hulk's strengths and none of his weaknesses. With a mean streak matching his might, the Red Hulk (also known as "Rulk") has beaten many of Marvel Comics' superheroes and remains a threat to the entire Earth in the current Fall of the Hulk story. Based on the stunning art of Ed McGuinness, the Red Hulk Fine Art Statue continues Koto's tradition of excellence.

The unstoppable Red Hulk rampages across a blasted volcanic landscape, preparing a lethal blow for his foes. The brute is absolutely covered in rippling muscles, with muscular definition rivaling (and even exceeding) that of Bruce Banner's gamma-powered form. The detail on the tremendous villain's intricate sculpt highlights every sinew and fiber of his being, while the fantastic paint work emphasizes his skin's subtle crimson gradations. A dark smoky gray appears on the Red Hulk's shredded pants, close-cropped hair, and finger and toe nails. Gleaming white teeth stand in stark contrast to the monster's gaping maw, while his tiny beady eyes shine with a hellish yellow. You can display the Red Hulk in two different ways according to your preferences with two included heads; one depicts the monster grinning in evil glee, while the other is a mask of rage crisscrossed by a yellow "X."

Sculpted by master artist Eric Sosa, Red Hulk stands almost 13 inches tall (1/6th scale), veritably leaping off of his exclusive "georama" base. Not only does the volcanic earth look great on its own, it will connect to the base on the upcoming Hulk to form a dynamic battle scene!

Batman Costumes For Sale!

Batman Costumes For Sale!

Want to Look Like Batman? 

Look No Further!

Undoubtedly, Batman is one of the greatest movie and comic-book characters of all time. The legacy of this dude has already endured for more than 70 years, which is an achievement in itself, and he shows no signs of declining in coolness as time goes on. He’s also, in a sense, the superhero of all superheroes. Why? Because other than being awesome, he doesn’t actually have any powers. How many superheroes can say THAT?

Even though we’re pretty far from Halloween at the moment, I can think of a myriad of reasons why a Batman costume could come in handy all year round:

1. It’s perfect for catching the eye of that cute girl you sometimes run into. In fact, it’s basically guaranteed that it’ll make her do at least a double- and possibly a triple-take.
2. The only thing standing in the way of you becoming a real-life superhero is a great costume.
3. Got a black car? I know just how you could make it look cooler . . .
4. Skip hours—nay, probably years—at the gym and get ripped simply by slipping on the sleek bodysuit.
5. Census takers really want to see something interesting when they knock on doors.



Convinced yet? If you don’t have the 500 spare clams to cough up for the Batman gear (although it is worth every penny), you might want to take a peek at this Joker costume, the snappy version of Batgirl, or the more affordable Batman Deluxe. To the bat cave, Robin!
